I seriously doubt that this is worth the trouble, since it is almost guaranteed that it won't be honored.

Using the AA toolbar it shows that the merchant is not actually participating, and when you click on the item details it shows you'll earn approximately 13 miles -- both of which are bad deals.

It would be a hard charge to dispute if you get the item but no miles, and an uphill battle with the shopping mall and the merchant -- it'd make EasyCGI seem like a piece of cake and with a $35 restocking fee you'll basically end up paying money for nothing, since they're not even nice headphones to begin with

what about ordering and confirming with AA shopping within the next day or two. If they refuse to award points, then you can always refuse delivery.

The AA shopping portal is not shy about taking back miles, and they've done it to me in the past. I tried double-dipping with 1-800-flowers before and they saw it and took back a bunch of miles for 4 individual purchases that I had made.

I have little doubt that even if these do eventually post they'll just get pulled.
